We love to see little children in our dental office! We are not just interested in your child’s dental development, but are interested in them as little people, too. With little children, our role is to start a trusting relationship that can last a lifetime.
We use play and stories to create rapport with children, and initiate the dental examination with familiar experiences such as toothbrushing. A toothbrush prophy is a dental cleaning that is done with a toothbrush – rather than with scalers and other metal dental instruments.
Counting teeth, checking for cavities, and assessing a child’s overall oral health are our goals. We also like to provide encouragement and support during toothbrush prophy cleanings.
